The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 2449

The old Arnold was lively, cheerful, and enamored with beauty. But that once radiant being had fallen into an abyss, leaving no trace behind.

As Arnold passed by Asher, he did not pause for even a moment.

At such a close distance, Asher could clearly see the cruel, cross-shaped scar marring Arnold’s cheek. His heart twisted painfully, the agony making his vision go black, as his body swayed violently.

“Asher, are you alright?!” Fortunately, Ryan was right beside him and managed to catch him in time.

Asher gazed at Arnold’s thin figure disappearing into the distance. His parched lips moved, but no sound emerged. It was as if he had lost the ability to speak.

Arnold stopped beside Justin, his lips curving faintly as he nodded slightly—a brief gesture of acknowledgment.

Then he suddenly lifted his sharp gaze. Those piercing eyes bore into Grant’s deceitful face like daggers.

“I am Dr. Arnold Larson, and I once served as Mr. Justin’s attending physician. About six months ago, Mr. Justin struck a deal with Christopher Iverson in order to save Ms. Thompson, who had been imprisoned on a remote island. He willingly took poison in exchange for her safe return to her family.”

His words caused an uproar.

“I remember that! Ms. Thompson was kidnapped by Christopher Iverson, the chairman of Iverson Corporation, and taken to a deserted island. Some said it was because of unrequited love, while others believed he used her as a hostage in desperation. Either way, it’s true!”

Reporters buzzed with excitement.

“Exactly! Afterward, Ms. Thompson was rescued, but Mr. Justin was rushed to the hospital. The Salvador family tried their best to cover it up, but in today’s information age, secrets never stay buried. Plenty of people heard about it!”

“Everything aligns perfectly with what Dr. Larson said!”

Bella closed her tear-filled eyes. The memories of those days trapped on the island with Christopher flooded her mind.

On the day Justin saved her, she had been unconscious the entire time.

She did not know how he had negotiated with that devil, but she understood one thing with certainty—her safety had been bought at the cost of his life.

She was not sure if she would ever get the chance to risk everything for him again in this lifetime.
